I gripe about crappy comics in the paper. So, I will pretend that I am a newspaper comics page editor and share my line-up. I read a lot of these comics on a regular basis and others I read occasionally. Several comics that I read regularly do not appear on this list.

In no particular order, my fantasy comics line-up:

• Tom the Dancing Bug
• Too Much Coffee Man
• Brewster Rockit
• Ink Pen
• Pooch Cafe
• Red Meat
• Rhymes With Orange
• Six Chix
• Spot the Frog
• Zippy the Pinhead
• Lio
• Bad Reporter
• Bob the Squirrel
• Pearls Before Swine
• Frazz
• Moderately Confused
• Over the Hedge
• Watch Your Head
• Brevity
• Candorville
• Cow and Boy
• Dog Eat Doug
• F Minus
• Herman
• Jump Start
• Liberty Meadows (it's in reruns but the art is worth looking at again and again)
• Off the Mark
• PC & Pixel
• Working It Out
• Soup to Nutz
• Little Dee
• Go Fish
• Dilbert
• 9 Chickweed Lane
• Ballard Street
• Bizarro
• Doonesbury
• Get Fuzzy
• Monty
• Mother Goose & Grimm
• Mutts
• Non Sequitur
• Pardon My Planet
• Piranha Club

If a newspaper ever ran just those comics at a reasonable size and got rid of the crap comics, I would buy a subscription, regardless of the paper's location.

You can find these comics online at GoComics.com, Comics.com, and The Houston Chronicle

Speaking of comics:
No, Mary is not speaking to Dr. Jeff Cory but it's funnier to pretend otherwise. Also serves as a nice icon.

Ziggy wears underwear? Tom Wilson's cultural references become more recent. This one is only a decade old. At this rate, Ziggy's crazy lady astronaut diaper gag should appear in 2012.

THEY KILLED STARBUCK!?! I'm merely a fan and no longer part of fandom, otherwise I would have watched that episode of Battlestar Galactica that I recorded sooner and I would have known about Starbuck sooner. AggieCon 38 is happening and I don't care.
